Chapter 1127: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (212)
Zuo Yue stared at the boiling water in the pot and suddenly moved her hand away from her mouth. She muttered,””Crazy.”
She turned around and took the noodles and put them into the boiling water. Then, she went to prepare other seasonings to go with the noodles.
After more than ten minutes, a bowl of steaming noodles was brought out and placed on the dining table. Zuo Yue then took the Chinese chopsticks and the omelet that she had just fried and placed them on the dining table.
Xu Chengfeng was standing by the sofa and drinking water. He looked back and saw the noodles and egg pancakes that Zuo Yue had personally cooked. He immediately raised his eyebrows and walked over slowly.
“Eat. Even if you still don’t have an appetite, if you continue to starve like this, you’ll really be joking with your body. You have to eat at least half a bowl of noodles.”Zuo Yue said as she signaled him to sit down and eat with her eyes.
Xu Chengfeng looked at the noodles on the dining table for a while, then looked thoughtfully at Zuo Yue.””You’re not eating?”
“I ate too much at noon, and I just got off work, so I’m not hungry yet.”Zuo Yue turned around and walked to the sofa. She picked up the fruit knife and said,””I’m going to peel some fruit. Hurry up and eat it. Also, I’m only here to take care of you because you’re a patient.”
Xu Chengfeng chuckled when he heard her deliberately adding that sentence. He sat at the dining table and picked up his chopsticks. He looked at the noodles and a small plate of simple scrambled eggs in front of him.
Zuo Yue was not particularly good at cooking in the past. She could even burn the bread when she toasted, so he did not expect her cooking skills to improve in recent years.
However, it seemed that she had really improved a lot. At least, she looked good.
“The three years of time spent on a little girl like you have indeed achieved unimaginable changes and growth.”Xu Chengfeng suddenly said.
When Zuo Yue heard this, she turned her head and saw that he had already started eating the noodles she cooked. She raised her eyebrows slightly but did not say anything. She sat on the sofa and continued to peel the fruit seriously. She watched as the fruit peels fell on the coffee table without breaking. The scene from before was reflected in Zuo Yue’s eyes.
Su Su’s lips were still on Su Su’s mother’s lips. Her heart, which had long cooled down, and her heart, which had been cast up, had a corner that collapsed, but it was only a corner.
She had indeed taken over the properties in Los Angeles that he had asked Ainte to sell, but how did he know?
He hadn’t returned to the United States in the past few years, but he knew everything about the United States like the back of his hand?
Did he know every step she had taken in the past three years and what had happened to her?
After peeling a fruit, Zuo Yue carefully cut it and placed it in the fruit plate. Then, she picked up another fruit and began peeling it.
Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting at the dining table, did not have much appetite because he had been seriously ill for the past two days. However, he did eat more than half a bowl for her sake.
Although Zuo Yue’s craftsmanship was not considered to be at the level of a master, it had a very ordinary taste. This was already her greatest improvement in the past three years.
Zuo Yue had just finished cutting the third fruit when she seemed to hear the movement behind the sofa. Xu Chengfeng’s footsteps had always been steady. She did not need to guess to know that he had already finished eating.
She didn’t turn around. When she picked up the fourth fruit, a voice came from behind her.” I asked you to peel the fruits, but I didn’t ask you to peel all of them. So many preparations, but I have to eat them all by myself?””
“Didn’t you say that you’re a patient? I’ve already peeled it for you. You can eat as much as you want.”Zuo Yue said as she began to cut the fourth fruit in her hand.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his wrist. At the same time, the fourth fruit fell into his palm. Zuo Yue turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng casually weigh the fruit twice and then throw it into the fruit plate. His movements were skillful and relaxed, as if he had recovered a lot after eating something.
She subconsciously wanted to get up, but before she could, Xu Chengfeng suddenly pulled her arm. She stumbled back to her seat and leaned against him passively. Her wrist was also held, so she could not shake it off smoothly.
Zuo Yuejiang sat on the sofa. Xu Chengfeng merely grabbed her wrist and did not do anything else.
It seemed like he just didn’t want her to leave just like that.
Zuo Yue sat next to him awkwardly for more than ten seconds before suddenly saying,””Um, my colleague is still waiting…”
“When do you plan to move back here?”When Xu Chengfeng let go of her hand, he used a toothpick to pick up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth. His actions were so natural that it was as if nothing had happened in the past three years.
Zuo Yue looked at him as if he was a lunatic.””Xu Chengfeng, have you lost your memory? It’s already been so long. I’ve already walked out of those impulsive moments when I was young and ignorant. Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? Who gave you the courage to sit here and ask me to move back in as if nothing had happened?”
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Instead, he silently picked up another piece of fruit.
“Also, I have to remind you that I’m already twenty-two years old. In another half a year, I’ll be twenty-three. I’m not the silly girl who was eighteen or nineteen years old and did whatever she wanted by your side. I’ve already grown up. I have a life I want, and it’s a life that I don’t want you to exist anymore!”
Xu Chengfeng still did not speak. He only looked at the piece of fruit on the toothpick. He was so quiet that no one could tell what he was thinking.
“I don’t know why you came back, and I don’t intend to ask too much. But now, my life has nothing to do with you anymore. So, Mr. Xu, no matter how much I took care of you during your illness, I didn’t have any other thoughts, so you don’t have to say anything. I won’t think too much, and please don’t think too much.”
“I’ll pretend that today’s matter never happened.”Zuo Yue took a deep breath.” That’s all. I’ll leave first…”
Her words were stopped by a piece of fruit that suddenly came close to her mouth.
Zuo Yue paused for a moment and looked at the man who was holding the fruit to her mouth without any change in expression.
Now, no matter what she said, he could do nothing?
How could this man be so calm and indifferent no matter what happened?
Zuo Yue let out a sigh of relief and said fiercely,””I hope that after you recover, you can go to the hospital for a regular physical examination. After all, you’re old. You have to go for a checkup to ensure your health. Don’t always make me…Do you know how difficult it is for me to take time out of my busy schedule to take care of you?”
